Sens attendance tracker

[Tuna99]

Going to a Sens game is like going to a Junior B game in an NHL arena. No tailgating is the lamest thing. I guess it makes sense when I can't even have a few beers on the bus to the game without getting dirty looks from boomers.

That mentality is why our franchise sucks. We aren't fun, so let's continue being unfun because that's the expectation and we can get away with it.

I think the major problem with attendance right now is the fan base is not connected to each other, we’ve had a rebuild, fans/media have been at each others throats for 8 years, there hasn’t been a lot to cheer about so we focus on the negative, the arena experience sucks sorry but it’s true, attendance is bad so the Event won’t seem fun because you know the atmosphere could be flat , most casual fans aren’t even sure if the team is good or improving.

The fans needs to recconect and enjoy each other, and that’s not happening with more arena lights or a different play list/ anthem signer. We need major events to bring the fan tiegtwhr, see we are all good people and good fan and express ourselves together, and then we go inside with the good vibes and bring the vibes to the arena experience.

Of course it’ll never happen because it’s. good idea so Ottawa will block it like they made them out the arena in Kanata because they did t want people having fun close to other in the city.

But if the Sens want attendance to improve outside of event games, they need their fan to reconnect over something postive on a game to game basis that is part from player performance

Player performance can no longer be the metric for NHL attendance - it’s not patical in this economy, sports dollars are way to competitive and to be honest, sitting in an arena for 3 hours at a low event game is kinda painful and leaves you feel empty because your with 15000 other people at a bad game thinkingthere’s gotta be more to this then waiting for them to play Tom Petty, Sometimes I just want to grab a six pack and watch a game with some other fans and not have to spend $100.

Tailgate solves Ottawa attendance problem forever. Like your grandkids will be tailgating with a picture of you on their pickup truck in 60 years.

Fans are the legacy, once Andlauers realizes that, like he is a legacy hockey fan in the purest sense, his entire business model changes. If Andlauer is waiting around the the fans to come back based on points percentage, it’ll be tough. If he gives us something of our own to curate, it’ll be a zoo in the CTC every Saturday night
